Excellent Attorney!

Excellent in both experience and professionalism. Mr. Hayes made me feel like I was his only client. He spent so much time with me to make sure my questions were answered and to go over my options. He made me feel confident in the courtroom and he worked hard to get the results I wanted. I will neve...r hire anyone else! Thank you Mr. Hayes!

Amazing professional work

No Regrets!

With Attorney Hayes, I found a criminal defense team that didn't make me feel like a number, but like the woman I deserve to be treated as. They saw me for who I am and not just my criminal record. Getting your record expunged is a possibility! Thank you so very much for giving me a second chance at ...life. Not only did you change my life, but you gave my children a fresh start as well! I cannot thank you all enough!

Phillip Hayes review

I was a first time offender so all of this was very new to me. When the judge told me I needed a lawyer because I “make too much” I was disheartened because I’ve heard how pricey lawyers can be and I didn’t believe I could afford an attorney. At the time I had contacted several attorneys before makin...g the choice of Mr. Phillip Hayes. He told me his pricing which wasn’t bad but, I didn’t think I could truly afford to pay it. He was kind enough to reduce the price with no hesitation to a price I could more comfortably pay over time. I had two court days to which Mr. Hayes was able to significantly reduce the time of my license being suspended and I have no pending interactions with the courts (ie probation) His staff was very pleasurable. When I initially called to make my first payment his paralegal Nicole was so warm and friendly. We spoke on the phone for a while as she put my anxiety about all of it at ease. I am extremely happy with my decision and will highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
